Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was delayed to March 2016 earlier this year, partly so Naughty Dog could ensure the game was the best they could possibly make it.

Neil Druckmann and Bruce Staley, the minds behind The Last of Us, are now helming the project.

"Since we showed you our first gameplay reveal of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, more of the game and story have come together, and it's become clear to us that this game is much more ambitious than we originally envisioned," Druckmann said.

"After spending so many years with Nathan Drake, he means a lot to the team, and telling the climactic chapter of his adventures is a task we don't take lightly--this game deserves every bit of the attention to detail, precise pacing, and nuanced storytelling Naughty Dog is known for."

"So we've made the difficult choice of pushing the game's release date. Giving us a few extra months will make certain that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End not only meets the team's high standards but the high standards that gamers have come to expect from a Naughty Dog title."

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will release worldwide on March 18, 2016 exclusively for the PS4.
